Legitimately snazzy.

@kev: I understand the Phalanx was also forced to intervene with Hero of Alexandria and so eliminate the invention of the coal-powered trireme.

"Comment, Mr. Spock?" "Fascinating, Captain! An engineering marvel, considering they had little beyond stone knives and bearskins to work with . . ."

The Pantemporal Phalanx was guided by the precognitive Pythia, the priestess of Apollo, more commonly known as the Oracle of Delphi. It was previously thought that the Pantemporal Phalanx had destroyed all of their specialist equipment to prevent any of it from falling into the hands of the Roman Empire. Having seen Rome's eventual dominance over Greece, the Phalanx knew that the rapacious appetite of the Caesars for conquest had to be restricted to one time period alone.
